Title Research: Watch the Titles Website

 The first website we used to research film titles was very versatile. It helped us learn how the title should have the same mood as the movie's opening. We learned that the font, font size, and background could all be uniquely used to create a mood for the audience. The first website helped us visualize our opening as more than a word or two. But, researching just the first website was not enough for us to be satisfied. We wanted to find more information in order to make our title the best it can be. Luckily, our teacher recommended another website with a lot of information on film titles. The website is called watchthetitles.com. Similar to the first website we used, watchthetitles.com had titles of a lot well-known movies we could use as references. The biggest difference of watchthetitles.com was that it featured many more film title creators than the first website. While the first website had the names of some creators, watchthetitles.com had interviews from very many creators. The insight we gained from the interviews was very helpful. Since many different professional interviews were featured, we could hear the different methods of many different people. Also, we didn't have to worry about whether the methods would be effective since they are all pros. We used the interviews to select different techniques and tricks that would be most useful to our own movie opening and skillset. Without the diversity of interviews the website offered, we would not have been able to find as much helpful information. Another useful aspect of the website was its multi-genre title examples. The website not only had titles of popular movies, but it also had titles of video games, tv shows, and student projects. Seeing other students project titles was the most helpful. Seeing professional titles is helpful to get ideas, but creating something of the same quality is too difficult and not realistic enough. But, seeing other student projects helps us form more realistic title ideas.

Filming: First Scene

Image
 We decided that the first scene could be filmed at a separate time than the rest of the scenes because of its location. Not only that, this was filmed on a separate date. The script was changed to compensate this. The camping trip was scheduled for a later date rather than later that day in the story to maintain continuity. All group members and cast members were not together for this shoot, as we didn't need to be. There are no group parts in this scene besides ones that will be edited in. We got in a voice call together for communication purposes as the first shot was filmed. There needed to be two phones utilized for this shot, as the shot consisted of a phone on a table. Only phone cameras will be recording every scene, and this was no different, which is where the second phone comes in. The camera wouldn't move, as it captures a top-down shot of the table with a phone in its center. The phone would then ring and be picked up by an off-screen arm after a considerable amoun

Intro & Group Blog: Final Task

Image
 I am Nicholas Arnold, an 11th grader at Fort Lauderdale High. After the success of the previous project I worked on, I am excited to work on a new project with my improved editing skills. I feel that I am now fairly competent at editing footage. It would be an ideal scenario if I could use that skill in a group. This why I am choosing to participate in a group with Grant Cipollone. I have chosen to be in the same group for 3 separate reasons. The first is that Grant has good camerawork and can create great footage to use off of our ideas. This is something that I don't feel as confident with, so a project would turn out better with him filming scenes. Secondly, I am more knowledgeable of the editing software and can create a good final project with the footage given. This is all backed up by our previous work, in which we split the work between filming and editing to make a better finished work. There were no problems when it came to delivering the information and footage back and

Creative Critical Reflection

How does your product use or challenge conventions and how does it represent social groups or issues? This commercial is targeted towards anyone with underlying medical conditions that could lead to constant uncontrollable headaches, specifically those who seek a solution to this condition. The commercial primarily advertises a product that is meant to fix these issues. The main goal of the commercial is to get the targeted audience to buy the product advertised by making a convincing plea that the product is worth buying. Migraines are an issue in many people's lives and this advertisement is an attempt at reaching this audience, and their wallets. It challenges the convention of the common issue of migranes by offering a solution. How does your product engage with audiences and how would it be distributed as a real media text? Audiences should be engaged through the relatability of the situation the characters in the commercial are in. The main character begins by having a headac
